Nope, not yet

So I've played with this opening so often it's driving me crazy. Doesn't matter. It's still not right. I'll know when it's right because I'll feel it. The right words will go together and it will be like readers are living in the story instead of reading about the story.
That's where I am now. Readers are reading about this really great character.
No thanks.
I write romance.
Readers don't want to read about someone. They want to BE someone, feel like they're in the moment. They want the "Calgon take me away" experience.
At least, I THINK they do. Because that's what I want when I read romance.
So yeah. I'm not there yet.
Lil needs work.
On the bright side, I have some ideas to try tomorrow.
Fingers crossed.
